Yesterday's question about how we felt about our grades just naturally led me to put that in the context of the rest of my life. I can't help but feel that the word that would be best served by having my picture next to it in the dictionary is "underachiever." I dunno, maybe I think too much of myself and that label isn't as appropriate as it seems, or maybe I'm just not cutting myself some slack again (seriously).
But the kicker was hearing my concerns and feelings virtually dismissed as "silly."
The thing about it was, that didn't really bother me as much as it might've in the past. When she explained where she was coming from, it didn't feel nearly as dismissive as it did at first hearing.
